"Transformative Medical Journey: The Rise of Dr. Levin’s Holistic Health Practice with Susan Levin

Today on the show Dr. Karlfeldt is with Susan Levin as you listen in you will hear some great stories that Susan and her late husband did to move integrative care forward.  

Below is a little about Susan Levin: 

"In 1975 I was living on the fast track in NYC. I smoked, ate only one meal a day and that was usually at restaurants. I was in for a rude awakening.  My gums were bleeding and I soon was to learn from a periodontist that my teeth were also loose.  But I was so young! He recommended a very expensive surgery as the remedy.

My mom, although once bedridden, had turned her health around with the help of an MD that utilized extensive diagnostic testing, nutrition, supplements, and detoxification to support the body’s healing abilities. After 6 months in his care, eating well and cooking for myself, my energy and sense of well being were transformed! My gums were no longer bleeding and my teeth had tightened. I returned to the Periodontist. He could not believe the change he saw in my mouth. Nor did he ask what I had done.

The doctor who had transformed my health eventually became my husband. Together Warrren M. Levin, MD and I were embarking on a journey together that would last over 30 years, not only as husband and wife but as pioneers in the world of Integrative and Alternative Medicine. Today I carry on with our mission through educating my clients about the possible options, treatments and protocols that are available to them by helping them to build and coordinate a support team to steer a course towards complete healing and recovery."

A few points from the show:

1. Dr. Levin purchased a family medicine practice after serving as an officer in the Navy and encountered a patient who believed she had hypoglycemia despite being diagnosed as a neurotic housewife by another doctor.
2. Initially skeptical, Dr. Levin conducted a glucose tolerance test on the insistent patient, which confirmed her severe hypoglycemia, prompting him to seek further information and treatment methods from other practitioners and organizations.
3. After successfully treating the patient with a hypoglycemic diet and vitamins, Dr. Levin's interest in alternative medicine grew, leading him to apply similar treatments to his daughter with remarkable results.
4. Dr. Levin expanded his practice to include various alternative therapies and moved to larger facilities in Brooklyn Heights and the World Trade Center, gaining a significant following despite opposition from the medical establishment.
5. In the 1980s, Dr. Levin presented a study on the relationship between parasites, amoebas, and undiagnosed conditions, but faced severe backlash from the medical community, leading to legal battles and personal financial strain.
6. Despite the challenges, Dr. Levin continued to advocate for and implement innovative medical treatments, ultimately winning a pivotal legal case in 1994, which had a lasting impact on the acceptance and practice of alternative medicine.
